Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Treatment satisfaction level at Baseline
Patient reported satisfaction with treatment effectiveness was captured on a 5-point scale - "I believe this treatment is effective in clearing my skin of psoriasis." (1 = strongly agree, 2 = somewhat agree, 3 = Neither agree nor disagree, 4 = Somewhat disagree, 5 = Strongly disagree; n, %) in the EMR data system. For this analysis, the responses were classified into three groups: 1. Satisfied with treatment effectiveness (1 = strongly agree, 2 = somewhat agree) 2. Dissatisfied with treatment effectiveness ( 4 = Somewhat disagree, 5 = Strongly disagree) 3. Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with treatment effectiveness (3 = Neither agree nor disagree)
Baseline
Treatment satisfaction level at 6 months post-index
Patient reported satisfaction with treatment effectiveness was captured on a 5-point scale - "I believe this treatment is effective in clearing my skin of psoriasis." (1 = strongly agree, 2 = somewhat agree, 3 = Neither agree nor disagree, 4 = Somewhat disagree, 5 = Strongly disagree; n, %) in the EMR data system. For this analysis, the responses were classified into three groups: 1. Satisfied with treatment effectiveness (1 = strongly agree, 2 = somewhat agree) 2. Dissatisfied with treatment effectiveness ( 4 = Somewhat disagree, 5 = Strongly disagree) 3. Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with treatment effectiveness (3 = Neither agree nor disagree)
6 months after initiating treatment with secukinumab (The date of the first order or administration was the index date; index period: March 1, 2018 - January 31, 2020)

Study Arms (5)
Overall cohort: Secukinumab
Included all the patients treated with secukinumab
Bio-naive
Included PsO patients initiating treatment with secukinumab. Bio-naïve was defined as no observed treatment (i.e., injection, prescription or patient reported history) with any of the following biologic drugs of interest anytime pre-index: secukinumab, certolizumab, etanercept, adalimumab, infliximab, golimumab, ustekinumab, ixekizumab, brodalumab, abatacept, and guselkumab and risankizumab during all available history
Bio-experienced
Included PsO patients initiating treatment with secukinumab. Patients had pre-index use of one or more of the biologic drugs of interest during all available history
Systemic-naive
Included PsO patients initiating treatment with secukinumab. Systemic-naïve was defined as no observed treatment (i.e., injection, prescription or patient reported history) with any of the biologic treatments or with any of the following systemic (i.e., oral or injectable - no topical forms) drugs of interest pre-index: methotrexate, corticosteroids, acitretin or apremilast.
Systemic-experienced
Included PsO patients initiating treatment with secukinumab. Systemic-experienced patients had pre-index use of one or more of the systemic drugs of interest.
Interventions
Included all the patients treated with secukinumab
Eligibility Criteria
Psoriasis patients treated with Cosentyx (secukinumab)
You may qualify if:
- ≥1 orders/administrations for secukinumab within the index window (March 1, 2018 to August 31,2019 for the base analysis; March 1, 2018 to January 31, 2020 for the refresh analysis). The date of the first order or administration was be the index date
- Patients in the MMDS database with a diagnosis of PsO on or prior to the 1st secukinumab order/administration
- ≥18 years of age as of the index date
- To ensure capturing continuous patient activities in the EMR dataset, patients must have at least one more visit (any visit regardless of diagnosis) in addition to the index visit within the first 6 months after secukinumab initiation
- Patients must have at least one visit (any visit regardless of diagnosis) within the 12 months pre-index period
You may not qualify if:
- Evidence of secukinumab use in the 12-month pre-index period
- Data quality issues (missing age, gender, prescription order information)
